PROFESSOR DAVIS ON THE RECENTLY DISCOVERED
VOLCANO.
A letter was presented to the Mer.den Scientific
association last week from Professor Davis of Har
ward college, who writes as follows:
AS to the volcanic crater, that you have
given to 1t. beg leave to make a few comments
The deposit in question may be traced along sever
al disjointed beds of outcrop. exposing in total
length of about mile, and main aiming tolerably
constant thickness of 81 TO 100 feet. Its origina
extension probably a surface of severa
square miles, but there is no evidence to show tina
shales of sandstone and is covered by
flow of lava perhaps 100 feet thick and this is il
turn covered by several hundred feet of shales
top of which lies the great lava flow that makes il
its present dislocated outcrop, the Hanging hills
Lamentation, Highly and other mountains. The
deposit in question is composed of ashes, through
compact lava, that may reasonably be interpreted
volcanic bombs, fragments of lava blown will
the lava out of some vent OF eruption. Unfortu
nately this vent has not been found. Doubtless a
| the time of the eruption volcanic cone Of ashe
and lava may have been built up over the vent AM
| q crater may have been formed at the top of tn
cone, but we see row nothing of cone crater; W
see only the materials thrown some distance from
/ the vent possible crater sand distributed in
broad relative thin bed, after the fashion of ash
beds in the neighborhood Of existing volcanoes.
therefore submit that lash BEDS would be NOR
appropriate name than volcanic crater for thu
1 several le1ges in your neighborhood.
